Doug, is there a place I can get your picks from the paper online?

Not sure why, but they only post columns on their website (goerie.com) Two of the main guys at the paper are regulars at the track. |
I know this is pushing it a bit. (or a lot) but maybe we could get a picture like above in this post.
I wouldn't ask this of you Doug; you're busy enough. Maybe someone else with access to this paper would be kind enough? |
You can E-mail Sports@Timesnews.com and ask for the picks for PID and I would think they'd forward them to you. Maybe if you keep pestering them enough, they'll post them up.
From what I've been told, I'll be on TVG Sunday night for their coverage of the Presque Isle Mile. |
I'm a couple months early, but...
Do you guys know if you plan to release advanced pps for the Breeders' Cup like DRF does? Also, any chance they will have both you (Doug) and Justin do more extensive analysis of both days rather than plays of the day? |
great job in the Bel 3rd today guys :tro:

No Play of the Day blog posts on Wednesday's anymore, but I am now giving TVG 3 Eastern editions plays on Wedensday, which they will discuss with bullet points in their live on-air coverage. Yesterday's three did well. 2nd at 10/1 odds at Suffolk, 2nd at 5/1 odds at Belmont, and a $14.40 winner at Belmont who didn't even have to survive an inquiry or objection thanks to the 2nd place jockey's generosity. |
How did you know that the trainer was just a 59 first out, did not see that in the expanded trainer stats numbers? Am I missing that?

I will ask the guys in New York about adding the trainers rating with first-time-starters to all 2nd time starters in the future. There are some trainers who are lousy with first-time starters and great with second time starters. This horse today was also the only other horse to take a little early action in the Sweet Whiskey maiden race ... and no A. P. Indy first time starter, going for a low-rated debut trainer, is ever going to have a shot at winning a Saratoga 2yo MSW race at 5.5f Most bettors are turned off by big stretch-outs like that, but with A. P. Indy as the sire, the figures often spike upward by giant margins. |

He is amazing! And to think i laughed when that horse won..congrats'
|
Thanks guys, appreciate it.
|
I had just replied to the earlier post on Twitter. Superb stuff again......so how do I convince you guys to do a TimeformUS multimedia seminar for the Breeders Cup? There has to be a growing market that would buy in for that. I'm getting more familiar with it, but getting inside somebody's methodology may really tip the scales. ;)

Doug, that was another sweet call with Laddie's boy today!
|
Quote:
He was involved in back to back insane pace battles. Here are the pace figures for his last two races on the 100 point scale. Breeders Futurity: Race (+37): 102 for a half mile, 93 for six furlongs 65 for final time Laddie's Boy: 99 for a half, 89 for six furlongs, 55 final time Iroquois: Race (+29): 94 for a half, 81 for six furlongs, 65 final time. Laddie's Boy: 94 for a half, 81 for six furlongs, 61 final time. When the Pace Projector looked like this today:  All it really took was for him to relax a little on the early lead, and he won clear at 12/1 odds. Just wish the 4th place horse Rope A Dope had run one length better to complete the exacta. |

Nice job guys at FL in the 4th (12/10) $33 and change for the cold exacta 10/6. :$::tro:
|
Doug just continues on an almost unbelievable roll:
http://timeformusblog.com/2013/12/22...-for-sunday-5/ |
Amazing Best Play hits at 10-1...3 out of 4 on the card, much props to Doug and the whole Timeform team. Have to admit that i don't go into any of my races without looking at your pace projections. Gives me a good idea how the race sets up for my horses, and what to discuss with the jockey if needed..Thanks for an excellent product!
|
Great job Doug!
|
Thanks. CJ does a great job with the figs. Our company has a lot of good ideas, like the Pace Projector Alan mentioned (though his circuit is tough because of timing issues)
I just get to pick my spots and have to execute. I didn't quite get it done at the KEE meet, but was profitable at Belmont, wildly profitable at Saratoga, and off the charts at Aqueduct. Feels good to at least have the opportunity to prove that I can post a big long term profit outside of PID, in a public handicapping role. Our West coast analysts at Timeform, Finch and Finnegan have done an excellent job as well. I hope it translates to people seeing the value of our past performances, and knowing that you can get an edge in areas with them. |

They still have some very talented people left there...and the juice was just about squeezed dry with me. It was disappointing to hear their intention of moving the position to NYC two weeks ago. I really do look forward to taking a little time off and getting back to doing day to day betting, and the kind of trip handicapping I was able to do when I had free time. |
Doug, best of luck to you..Your decision to stay put and put your family and girlfriend ahead of yourself, well that just shows you have a tremendous amount of character..Your contributions to TimeformUs will surely be missed..

hate to hear you won't be there any more, but certainly understand why.
|
Doug, great work with Timeform but family always comes first. You will be successful with whatever is next because of your tremendous work ethic.
|
Thanks Tom. Appreciate it.
|
Now if they'd just figure out how to make their pps more user friendly, they'd be all set.
|
Sorry to hear this Dougie. Was just beginning to get back into the game after a few months away and started using Timeform some. Always looked for your byline and comments.
Stay on twitter, just only give us the winners! :tro: |
Your run at Aqueduct a month back was nothing short of amazing.
Stinks to hear about the news, but confident you'll land on your feet when time permits. Best of luck Dougie! |
